I have essentially finished my winter coop which is adjacent to my greenhouse. The picture above may require some explanation. Under the corrugated polycarbonate sheet that constitutes the roof of my small chicken coop are two separate systems for harvesting solar power. On the left is a solar panel with the battery pack above it. This gathers electrical energy to power the 75 watt incandescent bulb that turns on for several hours in early morning with a timer, adding necessary light and heat. On the right is a black painted panel on which Ive placed 36 cheap water bottles. During the day the black panel heats up the water in the bottles which is stored as thermal energy and released gradually as night falls.
